Yes you did. Have you factored in the trajectory of each plane? One hit pretty much level, the other banking wildly at the last minute. You should. It will all become clear.
On the upside this thread made me think about and reconnect with an old pal. Linkedin not Facebook. Facebook is just wrong!

What doesn't? Dont get me wrong, they are twisting the ideology, but if you're saying the intolerance and extremism is bcos of wahabbism then that would affect the masses surely? Billions of them. Bcos you're suggesting it's the doctrine. To explain the point better, having read up (by chance) about wahabbism I used to think the same as you. Until I spoke to muslims about it and the first thing one of them said is "what is wahabbism?" He knew what it was, and he knew what I meant, but what he was getting at is it's been around for a century and practised by most sunni muslims without any regard for what it is. The doctrine itself is limited spiritually but doesnt in itself cause extremism otherwise law abiding muslims in this country and across the world would all be intolerant and extreme.
@Tobes It always goes this way after a few hours Seems everyone made it through without any meltdowns too. #silverlinings
I dont mean to dwell on this, but if it is the doctrine then it would be the majority surely? I think the wahabbi thing is overplayed tbh. The shia are just as militant. The only difference is they are protected by pariah states so dont need to go to the extremes ISIS do. I'd like to think the shia are a bit more cultured as well for that. Another difference between sunni and shia imo.
It depends how each person interprets it really. We are seeing an element now take wahhabism literally. Most don't. As you alluded too earlier, they follow it without really paying too much attention to it. I don't disagree that they are equally militant. However they are massively outnumbered and currently under threat from a fraction of that majority intent on either forcing then to convert of slaughtering them. Isis is creating a divide between the two. Shai Muslims are attacking Sunni Muslims in the aftermath of towns and cities being liberated from Isis.
